BLOOD IN POOP- EMERGENCY?!

It's my understanding that a vaccine is a mild form of whatever it's supposed to prevent, is it possible that the chick has come down with a mild version of coccidiosis? (Like I get the flu from the flu vaccine every year?)

Tha what I initially thought- because the other ones are fine and she is too it's just bloody poop and urine from last night (about 12 hours ago here ) to about 4. Hours ago that she was pooping blood. And I got her last night - since about 4 hours ago her poop has not had any blood - is this a good sign ?
 
Blood in the poop is never a good sign.
Are you dead set on not giving the chick some Corid?
Update- she popped another one - picture attached . And I've been looking for some Corid online and phoning up a few feed stores here and they are saying they don't do corid ? Is there another brand name in the U.K. or something ? I need corid asap before the shops close :/

Wouldn't worry too much. Your birds are old enough to not be drastically affected by coccidia. The vaccine only protects against a few strains of coccidia, and there are over nine known strains. They've likely already developed resistance to the strains in the vaccine and whatever was present at their previous home. Keep an eye on them for any other indications of illness and be prepared to treat with Corid if needed. It's always a good idea to have Corid on hand, just in case. The stress of moving is always a possible cause for exacerbating any potential problem, like not being fully resistant to a particular type of coccidia.
